Considering that it is now July of 2022 and the Covid-19 pandemic began over two years ago, it is bizarre to think about how through waves of mandatory quarantine and mask mandates, there continue to be spikes in Covid cases. Within schools and universities for the 2021-22 year, mask mandates were generally lifted as students were able to return to in-person classes, and stores and restaurants fully opened up to the public with no masks required. While there was a surge in cases last winter, with an increase in general illness around cold and flu season, CDC officials have noted that this new summer surge has resulted in even more Covid cases nationwide.
